Kirlian Electrofotogrammen - Robin Noorda
These images are made in the darkroom. They are contact prints of leaves under high and high frequency voltage. Discharges in the electromagnetic field become visible as a halo around the leaves.
Electrophotography is also known as Kirlian photography, after the Kirlian couple, who worked with this technique at the beginning of the last century. They believed to be recording the aura of living beings.
The so-called 'phantom leaf' remains enigmatic: if you cut the top of a leaf, sometimes a vague echo remains on the film. Here we see a phantom leaf in the triptych with fingerprints and Begonia leaves on a roll film (at film edge number 1).

The blue fingerprints are my own.
The red fingerprints are of a medium.
